Subject:SUMMARY: HTML Products From:Michael LaTorra <mikel -at- HUEY -dot- ACCUGRAPH -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 28 Nov 1995 17:53:09 MST
Thanks to the 13 people (you know who you are!) who responded to my query
about HTML editors.
Several people pointed out that there are really two classes of HTML
development products: HTML converters (such as WebMaker) and HTML editors
(such as HotDog). Converters turn wordprocessor files into HTML files.
Editors create and edit HTML files directly (and can also use ASCII files as
input).
A total of 10 products were recommended, or at least mentioned. The cost
of these products ranged from FREE to $1,000-plus. In this
totally unscientific survey, the products most often recommended were
HTML Writer, HotDog and WebMaker.
Also, 2 respondents offered URLs or e-mail addresses for HTML resources and
discussion lists. These are given at the end of this message.
